Monday our stop was at Qaqortoq, Greenland. The population is just over 3000 people. The English translation of Qaqortoq is WHITE. We have been here before and Kathy decided to just stay on the ship. I got off and walked around some many photos and had a couple beer. The sail away was spectacular with hundreds of icebergs seen. I took over 700 photos after we set sail. I hope you enjoy the ones I have posted. Next stop is St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada
